APA Shipping frame• The design of the APA transport frame is becoming final, and
drawings produced
• FEA is underway and working on different load cases
• The current structure is now on EDMS

Steel transport frame• Transport frame
manufactured from
2x2” and 2x3” steel
section.
- 3” Section EN10219
S355J2H
- 2” Section hot rolled
EN10210 S355J2H
- Plate hot rolled EN10025-
2: 2004 S355J2H.
• Drawings are complete
• Initial quotes have been
done in the UK and US

Attachment points
05/11/2019
• Each frame has attachment
points which gives a full 360°
rotation
APA Bracket arrangement• Exploded view of top bracket
arrangement
• Bolt and washer holds the top
bracket in position

Bottom Bracket arrangement• The bottom bracket (shown in red) is welded to the vertical RHS

APA Connection to support
• Section through top bracket assembly

Anti Vibration Mounts• Had a meeting with the UK vendor, AVMR who supply Vibrostop (cavoflex) wire rope mount systems
• Their main concern is that positioning the mounts vertical is not a good idea as they will be ‘cantilevered’ and have no support in that direction and will tend to permanently droop.
• The solution is to have the 6 mounts positioned horizontally.
- The reason is that the main concerns are with the horizontal transport and lifting by crane etc. which will include the ‘10cm’ drop. The other concern is the long term creep on the wire rope mounts if they are in the vertical position.
- Less concern was thought for being slung under the cage and the 2g force from the cage braking.

Anti Vibration Mounts• Quick analysis done and data sheet
provided
• Cost is £109 each for 900 units
• £3000 if a detailed study is needed

• Material Carbon Steel
- 3” Section EN10219 S355J2H
- 2” Section hot rolled EN10210 S355J2H
- Plate hot rolled EN10025-2: 2004 S355J2H.
• 3” x 10 SWG (3.251mm)
- Main Structural support
• 2” x 10 SWG (3.251mm)
- Inner Parts
• No springs
• APA represented by ‘weights’ attached to
vertical struts.
• FEA model uses both shell and solid elements.
• Lifting at 2 positions horizontal
• 2 positions vertical
FEA of transport frame-Loads Applied

• Mass of 1 APA 473.8Kg
- 2 APAs 947.6
• Mass of Frame and all attachment pieces
• 1205Kg
- Mass of Steel Frame 455Kg
- Mass of APA connecting pieces and springs
110Kg x 4
- Mass of Aluminium Side Frame 90Kg x 2
- Mass of panels (acrylic) 130Kg
• E Carbon Steel 200GPa
• Yield stress 355MPa
• Max tensile strength 510-680MPa
• Load Safety Factor 1.4
Total Mass of Frame Assembly
• APAs
• Transport Frame Assembly
Total 2153Kg
With 1.4 LSF
Total 3014Kg current FEA
29569N
Horizontal LSF 1.4
05/11/2019
• Maximum deflection 1.2mm
• Maximum stress 81MPa
• Resultant force 29953N
Horizontal end lifting LSF 1.4
05/11/2019
• Maximum deflection 1.3mm
• Maximum stress 160MPa
• Resultant force 29953N
Conclusions and future work• The stresses and deflection in the new design are shown to be
smaller by around 50% under standard lifting
• Around 40% when end lifting
• This shows the design can be moved forward to the PDR in
January
• The FEA will need to be continued and a stress report written by
29th November for internal review.
• Final draught 13th December ready for reviewers
